  • • What Are the Penguins Going to Look Like? Part II: The Defense and Goalies
    On Friday, I detailed what I thought our forward lines would look like if we entered the upcoming season with our current roster. Today, I’ll do the same with our defensemen and goalies. Hoo boy, what fun. Before I begin in earnest, I need to state my belief that Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas will make every effort to deal mercurial defenseman Erik Karlsson before the summer expires. His acquisition...2025

  • • Penguins Acquire Dumba, Second-Round Pick from Stars
    The Penguins have acquired veteran defenseman Mathew Dumba from Dallas. Also coming the Pens’ way, the Stars’ second-round pick in the 2028 Entry Draft. Heading to the Lone Star state to complete the deal, erstwhile black-and-gold defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok. Once-upon-a-time a prodigy whose boxcars in junior were eerily reminiscent of recent high-profile draftee Kashawn Aitcheson...2025

  • • The Penguins Are Different. Are They Better?
    Two days into free agency and with nine signings under our belt, it’s time to take a step back and see what Kyle Dubas has wrought. The Penguins sure are different. Deeper, too, at least for the time being. Are they better? I do like the fact that we’re bigger. The additions of monster forwards Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau should make us more difficult to handle, particularly in the high-traf...2025

  • • Penguins Free Agent Update: Day 1 (and ½)
    As anticipated, the Penguins didn’t do a cannonball splash into the deep end of the free-agency pool yesterday. However, they did wade into the shallow end to make a handful of signings. In order of the announced signings, the first UFA to join the fold was 27-year-old defenseman Parker Wotherspoon. A left shot, the former Islander and Bruin has okay size, checking in at 6’1” 192. He’s regarded as...2025

Timeline

  • 2025
    "You could see that shift taking shape with moves like trading Yager for a relentless, high-energy, physical forward like Rutger McGroarty, and adding guys like the hitting machine Noel Acciari, the gritty Connor Dewar, the buzzsaw Blake Lizotte, the dependable two-way presence of Tommy Novak, and most recently, Connor Clifton—a tough-as-nails defenseman who loves to lay on the hits, block shots, and not afraid to throw hands with anyone."

  • 2024
    "In Columbus, the Sabres’ Connor Clifton scored with three minutes gone in the third period to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead they would hold for the win over the Blue Jackets on Friday night."

  • 2022
    "Greer (10) Hampus Lindholm (27) - Charlie McAvoy (73) Derek Forbort (28) - Connor Clifton (75) Matt Grzelcyk (48) - Brandon Carlo (25) Goaltenders Colorado needs all the help they can get, which means that starter Alexandar Georgiev could get the opportunity to steal this game, while it seems likely that Linus Ullmark could make it back into the Boston lineup for the first time since his injury scare against Carolina on November 25."

  • 2020
    "Ninety seconds removed from Connor Clifton’s game-tying tally, Brad Marchand gave the B’s the lead over the Hurricanes with 8:20 remaining in the final frame at Scotiabank Arena."
